As you move to the right from the decimal point, the place values are:
tenths
hundredths
thousandths
tenthousandths
So what you have there is two thousand three hundred two ten thousandths. Since the rightmost digit is not five or more, you can drop that (round down) to make the value 0.230 or two hundred thirty thousandths
Identify the digit that sits at the THOUSAND position.
All the digits at the right of it will be replaced by zeros.
The THOUSAND digit itself may be left unchanged or increased by 1, depending on the digit that sat at the HUNDRED position.
If the digit at the HUNDRED position is 0, 1,2,3,4 the digit at the THOUSAND position is left unchanged.
However, if the digit at the HUNDRED position is 5,6,7,8, or 9, increase the old value of the digit at the THOUSAND position by 1. Examples
5768 469 becomes 5768 000
5768 743 becomes 5769 000
5769 469 becomes 5769 000
5769 743 becomes 576 (9+1) 000 Patience
9+1=10, so you must increase the 10-THOUSAND digit by 1
Thus 5769 743 becomes 5770 000 If any other digit to the left of the THOUSAND digit reaches the value 10 (no digit), then increase by 1 the digit at the left of it.
Round to which place value?
To the nearest million: 1,000,000
To the nearest hundred thousand: 700,000
To the nearest ten thousand: 740,000
To the nearest thousand: 741,000
To the nearest hundred: 740,700
To the nearest ten: 740,690
Put the calculator in scientific display mode (SHIFT>MODE(Setup)>FIX. You will be asked to enter the number of fixed decimal digits. Enter 2 for hundredths, and 3 for thousandths. To round to the nearest hundreds or the nearest thousands, do it by hand as follows. For hundreds
Locate the hundred digit. Let it be h.
If the next digit (the tens digits is less than 5 replace the 10 and unit digits each by 0. Your result will look like ...h00.
If the 10s digit is 5 or above (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) you must round up by increasing the hundreds digits by 1. Your result will look like ...(h+1)00 For thousands
Let the thousand digits be t
If the hundreds digits to its right is less than 5, replace it and the digits following it by 0. Your result will look like ...t000.
If the hundreds digit is 5 or higher, increase the thousands digits by 1 and replace the hundreds, tens, and units digits by 0. You result will end with (t+1) 000
Note if (h+1) or (t+1) give you 10, put a zero at their positions and increase the digit to the left by 1.
Example. 78997 to the nearest hundreds 78997 becomes 789(9+1)0 or 78(9+1)00 or 79000
Place value of the first 6 is thousands. Replace all the digits after the 6 with 0. Should round up (increase the value of the 6 to 7) or round down? Here you round down. 286, 000
Write the first number out( Seventy Five) Then at the first comma write out what it represents (million) Then write out the next number (eight hundred ninety three) then what the next comma represents (thousand) then the next number (nine hundred thirty eight). Put it all together and you get your answer (seventy five million eight hundred ninety three thousand nine hundred thirty eight) its easy if you break it down section by section and remember what each comma represents. I hope this helped you out
Well that would be... 301,500,000 rounded UP, or 301,400,000 rounded down.
BUT the second answer, 301,400,000... is YOUR answer....
The nearest hundred thousand is 400,000... hence the answer, see?
It will be 499,995. The place value would be. Ones is 5, Tens is 90, Hundreds is 900, Thousands is 9000, ten thousands is 90000, hundred thousands would be 400000.
Most likely it's the process not the calculator that is failing. But there are so many things that could be shifting your results...
Are you rounding your values to two decimal places as you go? Because with accounting of very large numbers you need to not round until you get your final answer. The .001 cents lost each time you round a subtotal adds up and in the case of several millions of dollars can cause a few hundred dollar discrepancy.
Also, if you're calculating accrued interest make sure that you are compounding it correctly. Amounts compounded continuously will give you a dramatically different amount than interest compounded monthly or annually.
Finally, if you are using the memory function on the calculator make sure that you are pulling that value in correctly.
